The ENSAFE project is initiated to look in to the future of supporting elderly by technology. Elderly are motivated to live at their own home for as long as possible while at the same time the care availability is suppressed. Technology could play a major role to solve this trend and create a beneficial situation.  To achieve this we need to know how elderly persons deal with technology and in what parts of their life they would want it to play an important role.

Therefore we kindly asked seniors from Sweden, Italy, United Kingdom and the Netherlands to fullfill a survey. They survey included questions about demographic measures, technology use, daily activities, mobility and health conditions. Around 100 seniors in each country enthusiastically participated in this survey study, which could be done digitally or physically. The data will be analysed in the next few weeks and the results will serve as input for the focus groups and service development of the ENSAFE system.
